Wed / 2 Jan. 2019 – ANNOUNCEMENT!
With only a few weeks remaining until departure for the tip of South America next door to Antarctica, Foundation for Youth fund-raising adventurers Walter Glover and Nancy Conner are immersed amid intense training efforts, packing lists, vaccinations, and finalizing details.

Pilar, a breast cancer survivor, recently completed a 100 mile mountainous trek and climb of Mont Blanc across France, Switzerland and Spain. Pilar is originally from Indianapolis.
The trio will be in Patagonia, a region within the rugged and majestic area of Chile and Argentina. They will trek and climb 70 miles across the two countries.

They will strap on crampons and perform a day hike across a glacier near the Straits of Magellan, sea kayak for an afternoon, and finish up with a 20 mile mountain bike ride. In between they will hob nob with a penguin colony of 60,000 breeding pairs on a protected island uninhabited by humans.
